Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin Can't Change His Style, I'll Remove All Doubt!

[JuniorTorres720]

because he fights every opponent the exact same way

we have never seen anything new from Golovkin for years, just the opposite..... whereas Canelo improves every single fight

the only change to Golovkin's style came against Jacobs/Canelo..... and that is because Golovkin's style was inhibited..... he did not adjust, he did what he could

your suggestion that he can simply " unload more " will get him into trouble, he did everything he could the first time around

plus, he has a poor corner

I don't know what happened in their first fight but GGG seemed to give Canelo way too much respect. We see what he can do to guys like Vanes that he shows no respect towards and goes in for the kill. I don't know if Canelo has unworldly power that made GGG hesitant to throw, but he just didn't unload like he's used to doing. I'm not comparing Canelo to Vanes because they're clearly different level fighters, but I can see Golovkin adjusting and going to the body more this time around. Plus, with an iron chin like hisI'm sure he'll be willing to risk more in such a big fight that his legacy at stake.

I doubt it

no way did he simply forget to work the body..... he did what he could under the circumstances..... little/nothing will change

no dont get me wrong, he can go to the body more, but he will just get countered nasty if he choses to go that route.

Canelo's counters were definitely hurting GGG even if his fanboys believe he can take all the punches in the world, that's why triple G String Bum Diva was hesitant when Canelo was on the ropes. He had THE FEAR

THIS is what i'm saying. Canelo's counters were INDEED affecting Golovkin. That's why he eventually stopped engaging Canelo. As much as a chin triple G has, he was getting rocked hard by the ginger.
There is absolutely no invincible fighter.
As much ability he had, Mayweather Jr would've lost eventually to a strong fighter but he was a GENIUS when it came to picking his opponents.

Vanes was a sub-par opponent, Canelo is an outstanding fighter

that was the difference

I don't know if Canelo has unworldly power that made GGG hesitant to throw, but he just didn't unload like he's used to doing.

he is very sharp, and an excellent counter-puncher

I said many times before the fight that Golovkin will have problems committing and be hesitant to throw (like he was with Jacobs), and he will keep them hands at home when he realizes how sharp Canelo is

the exact same thing happened in the Chavez fight

the exact same thing happened to MANY Mayweather opponents who talked it up beforehand, but were AWOL when **** got real

I'm not comparing Canelo to Vanes because they're clearly different level fighters, but I can see Golovkin adjusting and going to the body more this time around. Plus, with an iron chin like hisI'm sure he'll be willing to risk more in such a big fight that his legacy at stake.

aah ok, you're onto it

I just can't see how Golovkin can do more against a better version of Canelo..... and Canelo will definitely be better in the rematch, no question

Rob a fighter who is less likely to adjust to give a better chance in a rematch to a fighter who is more likely to adjust better. I see the repeat of Kovalev-Ward here. + age. I'd say Clenbuterol on points this time. That would be a shame, but nonetheless a very likely scenario. GGG would need to dig deep and knock him out to win this one.

he was a genius at defusing punchers

it would have taken a young pressure fighter/volume puncher to beat him..... even when Floyd was past-prime nobody at 154 could have beaten him, you needed to look at middleweight to find a threat

thanks for filing your excuse(s) nice and early

As a GGG fan but also a fan of Canelo's combination punching style, Canelo has a good point. Over time, just like many power-punchers before him, GGG has become a head-hunter.

If Golovkin went more to the body, then I'm quite sure he'd have more success, and if Canelo can manage to stay on the offensive like he said, I do believe he will get the decision as both guys have solid chins.

It is a very tight contest, with Canelo having the edge in speed and accuracy, combination punching, with Golovkin having a slight edge in power and a more solid chin (just).

A lot of people under-estimate GGG's boxing ability, while conversely, it looks as though at least in the last fight Golovkin may have thought he could out-box Canelo and/or knock him out.

I think both guys are going to fight exactly the same way as the first. Underwhelming the fight will be.
